Nobody does that.

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.” Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

NYT story doesn't seem to be paywalled and is worth reading. The judge is a Bush (the Lesser) appointee.

I honestly don't see any winners here. If the students actually got an inadequate college education, getting their money back is not going to fix that. It will, however, make it even harder to get an adequate college education. This is one of those games where the only way to win is not to play.

Little bit more on Tricia McLaughlin. I always sensed that I will never belong in the billionaire class, there is just something tragically broken in all these people. Waste of what could have been a perfectly fine life. Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton are billionaires, I'm not talking about them.

And now for something completely different:

It's weird how there's all of us who get how made-up this stuff is and there's also real people living inside this cartoon.

Tricia McLaughlin. I have only seen her name a few times, but it's always attached to some deeply nasty what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it statement. I won't tell you the word I want to call her, but it's uncomplimentary. Now let's talk about Noem & Lewandowski.

Really liking my Congresswoman more and more.

2026 basically

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I saw the video and was horrified, but I can't bring myself to repost it so you will have to find it elsewhere. Those people are grotesque, and I'm not talking about their bodies.

“This is not a perfect party.. We are not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission: Our mission, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to house the homeless, to teach the illiterate, to provide jobs for the jobless, and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.”

Please let's keep saying this until people start to hear it and then hear it some more. Truth Commissions, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions. Time to start figuring out how it will work.

This is how I remember Jesse Jackson. Perpetual troublemaker.

The saga of this One-Day Delivery from Amazon that began Friday night and is now promised for tomorrow, Tuesday, would be comical if it were happening to someone else. Also I'm sure that if anyone is punished at Amazon it will be some hapless overburdened and underpaid delivery driver.

Truth Commission. I like the sound of that. I think it could catch on.

We all despise Elon, but some people do it better than others

Reposting again with ALT-text this time. Bill Amend really is a master.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

All the people in this thread are at least slightly nuts and I don't know exactly why it makes me so happy to see them all working together to solve a mystery, but it does.

So this is how the NYT is going to report about her, getting an early start means they are already scared. Good to know.

alexander the great, who actually forged an empire, was tutored by a little known athens-educated philosopher named aristotle

I've been thinking, I'm pretty sure there is a big server farm billed to DHS in some Govcloud that is hoovering up all these videos and indexing and archiving them for use by ICE, but if those guys are really supergeniuses they will know that they are collecting a massive trove of evidence of 1/3

A little Photoshopping here but I'll allow it in this case, not like they're trying to fool anybody. Great photo.

I hope you have already seen the request to do this vote (limit one vote per person or probably IP address) and gone to vote for them, costs nothing and means money for them, but I am reposting it just in case, and also for the exemplary ALT-text.

SUCH WATCH! ♥ #Casablanca #TCMParty

When I was a kid (1950s) I saw a quiz show on NYC Channel 2, newfangled Public TV, that had a panel of archaeologists and the challenge was to identify different artifacts, and the things would be Sumerian or Silk Road or Inca or Austronesian and no matter what there would be one guy who got 1/2

This is the guy who is running to replace Seth Moulton who is hoping to replace Ed Markey. Ed Markey does not need to be replaced, especially by a smarmy little pissant like Moulton.

This is the phrase that leapt out at me also. Wtf does that even mean? Who put those words in that order and looked at them and said yup, that's what I meant to say?

There is much rejoicing in the bsky cat people community today.

Yeah, I'm sold.

So much for the Tolerant Left, I guess. I am not going to miss it. "You're going to get in trouble for that." "OK."

Rumor but plausible, but if true I kind of doubt they will fool many people, but many people will fool them. #howdoyoudofellowkidsmeme

This is not today's breaking news, this is a lengthy and extremely well-researched and thorough report on the profound brokenness at DHS under Noem/Lewandowski, I never liked either one and I know she shot her puppy but omg I had no idea how looney tunes they both are, go read. I had to sign in 1/2

Perspective I hadn't thought about before, Bezos paid however many millions of dollars a Super Bowl ad costs to make himself and his product deeply reviled at SB scale. I know it's pocket change to Jeff, but it's still millions of dollars and millions of viewers and he desperately wants to be liked.

No surprise here, postal workers are good people. Something about the job attracts good people.

My dream is that he times his retirement to close to the mid-terms and Trump's first nominee is Pam Bondi and even the current Senate can't hold their noses and confirm her, and then Ds take the Senate and they announce it's too close to the next election to be considering a new Justice.

I have been thinking a lot about who would be an acceptable candidate for 2028 and so far AOC is the only prominent D I see who seems to have a clue about what it's going to take to begin to clean up the mess - fix the Supreme Court, recover our place in the world, make our treaties mean 1/n

first time in new york since zohran took office and other than having to recite the shahada on arrival at laguardia nothing much has changed

Of course it is.

Not just the world's richest man, the richest man in the history of mankind, cannot buy his way out of being a sad little loser.

omfg it wasn't stupid enough that they put "AI" into Notepad, they no doubt gave it to an intern who did a half-assed job of it and introduced a critical vulnerability. Worse than useless, now we have to worry about poisoned .txt files.

Seriously, humanity, we can do better than this.

I know your senses of outrage and disgust are as exhausted as mine are, but I guess we have to keep looking, this is real. US-made thermal weapons.

Interesting if you want a textbook example of a sentence that is the geometric opposite of the truth in just about every possible dimension.

My Senator gets it. I wish we could replace Schumer with someone who gets it.

A few more votes trickled in, margin is now 889 votes, not enough to bump the % from 93 to 94 but still a trend in the right direction.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?
